The point was that mixing a "native" application with a Cygwin app is=20

Just for reference, with XEmacs opening a shell:

sh-3.2$ echo $TERM
dumb
sh-3.2$ echo $TERMCAP
emacs:co#79:tc=3Dunknown:
sh-3.2$ python
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, May 18 2007, 16:56:43)
[GCC 3.4.4 (cygming special, gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125)] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

sh-3.2$ echo $SHELL
/bin/bash

XEmacs, runs a GUI with or without X.
